Editing Wheelie

A '''wheelie''' is a technique that can only be used on a [[bike]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. They slightly increase the speed of the player's bike, but if they bump into an object or opponent while performing one, it cancels and the player loses speed. Also, the speed increase comes at the cost of reduced handling, and turning while performing a wheelie slows down the player substantially. Wheelies will fail if the player tries to perform one without moving, or if they are moving too slowly.

==Trivia==

*The wheelie can be used to avoid the effects of [[POW Block]]s, by timing it at a certain point.

**Although karts cannot perform wheelies, they too can avoid POW Blocks using the same controls as wheelies (lifting the Wii Remote or pressing {{button|Padup}} on {{button|Pad}}).
